Came up with this floral border to sit underneath JOY monogram letters or around any christmas lettering. Its a horizontal botanical sprig setup, holly leaves in two greens, clusters of red berries, small brown pine cones and a few soft pink blooms. The whole thing is painterly rather than clip-art crisp.
Leaves use directional satin fills so they actually look like leaves with veins, not flat green blobs. Berries sit as small dense red dots slightly proud of the fabric. Pine cones have layered scale lines in chocolate brown so theyve got dimension.
One customer wrote to me asking for a botanical border she could pair with her own monogram letters. Her project was a pillow saying JOY for her mums sitting room. After she sent me a photo of the finished pillow alot of people have ordered this border for the same use, framed with their own initial fonts.
5 sizes ship in the file, smallest 1.73 wide, largest 7.51 inches. Smaller works as a single sprig accent under a small letter, larger fills the bottom of a full pillow or tea towel.
Stitches happy on cotton, linen, velvet, twill and felt. Skip very busy patterned fabric because the soft botanicals get lost. Run woven cotton with tearaway, switch to a cutaway for any stretch knit. Send a quick message if the file errors out, Ill get back fast.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
